Thanks for hunting us @chrismessina. It’s great to be back with the latest from Hugo 🙌 ! We’ve also had some great coverage and support over the past year: “Hugo’s innovation is a platform that integrates more deeply within a user’s calendar, recognizing things like past notes from a meeting with a specific person…” TechCrunch “Hugo is much simpler [than Evernote] because the calendar connection organizes everything... Hugo provides one place to collaboratively prepare, take notes, assign tasks and share, and integrates with more than 20+ work apps.” Entrepreneur

This, freaking this 💕 Had a short chat with Josh awhile back (though I can't remember for the life of me, what it was about) and I gotta say, the team's a pretty cool bunch. Hugo was already a fantastic app in it's last version. Now that I'm looking at the screenshots of the latest release, I might just have to pick it up again cos there's no other platform that made me as gleefully giddy as Hugo. Got your own process? Make it a template. Not sure where to start? Try out one of their many - many other templates designed by other culturally famous startup & SaaS teams. Just wanna jot down your next blog post as you sit through another Grant Cardone rant? Yes, it even supports Markdown.

Hey ProductHunters 👋, We know that meetings really sucked in 2020. Our research shows an average of 33% more meetings, each with more attendees being squeezed into them, and getting longer too 🤯. Worse, the value created in each meeting along with the action items, are typically lost as soon as the meeting ends. And, we now know that this new way of working isn’t going to change any time soon 😫. Hugo was already helping thousands of teams with meeting docs that link to your calendar. But, throughout the pandemic, Hugo users (small startups of 5 to large companies like Netflix and Spotify) beat these horrible trends. On average, Hugo customers attend 40% less meetings, complete >50% more action items and improve meeting culture by more than 70%. Now we have rebuilt Hugo to make meetings even better for remote teams. You can get set up in <2 minutes, prepare for meetings asynchronously, take meeting notes together, leverage custom templates and manage action items through Hugo tasks and app integrations ⚡️. Finally, a huge thanks to the PH community! When @hnshah first hunted us in 2019, we connected with some of our most loyal customers. Since then, we’ve iterated on their early feedback and subsequently closed funding from Google's Gradient Ventures, Slack Fund, Founder Collective and Entrée Capital. Hugo remains free for teams of 10. Connect your work calendar to get started. Now go and have fewer, shorter, better meetings 🚀🚀🚀. - Josh, Darren and the Hugo team

What I like here best (that I think other note taking apps may be lacking) is the ability to integrate your calendar in. Working with my team on projects, I find that organising and syncing timings is one of our largest painpoints.

Awesome tool! Does this support multiple calendars? Looking for something like this that helps my individual meetings instead of a company-wide integration.

Some members of my team use Hugo and they were praising the solution for months. This may probably be the time I'll start using it too. Good luck with the launch!

Hugo is amazing! The integrations have been incredibly helpful to our team. Congrats on the launch!

The Hugo team has built something special. The attention to detail they put into the product is magic ✨ and has helped us better document and plan our meetings. +1 for templates as this saves us a ton of time.

This looks so promising. Will definitely give it a try to improve efficiency and workflow with the team!

Haven't invited my team and clients yet, but I'm LOVING Hugo so far. Really solves a pain point. Looking forward to a direct ClickUp.com integration and improved iOS app (especially on larger screens). Keep rocking!

I’ve had the good fortune of working with the Hugo team and can say this about them... They are OBSESSED with getting to know their customers in order to serve them better. Always adding new capabilities and integrations. Always improving the UX. Always listening. When doing customer interviews, different people liked different features but the team emerged as the thing everyone loved. Definitely recommend giving it a try (heck it’s free for up to 10 users).

We're obviously biased as investors via Slack Fund, but personally I love the Hugo product. I've always had a hard time staying on top of tasks/next-steps from meetings, but Hugo completely fixes that for me. They centralize all my tasks from my meeting notes throughout the day. It has been a huge productivity boost the past 6 months.

We would likely use this if you supported MS Teams/Tasks, is that on the roadmap?

We used Hugo extensively at my last company to stay aligned, organized, moving projects forward, and more. It was so valuable that I brought it to my new company. It’s great for teams of all sizes!

Been using Hugo for almost a year now as a way to communicate with my clients. It makes the process of sharing our meeting notes simple and easy.

Hugo was massive over the past year. The ability to connect notes with the calendar (dates & attendees) is a life saver. Congrats (and THANK YOU!) @joshlowy @darren_chait + Team on building such a great product! I love the different widgets that allow you to create follow-up tasks. You can jointly craft an agenda with your stakeholders to maximize everyone's times. The Hugo team continues to hustle and innovate on the product; the new templates help ensure that whatever type of meeting you are running, your meeting is well structured and you are set-up for success.

We embedded Hugo in our org and within a couple meetings it was clear that meetings were going to be 100x more effective. Meetings are not simply about the time spent, but rather about the preparation and outcomes, and Hugo makes the whole process feel fun and efficient. Hugo is like having a full-time professional personal assistant dedicated to supporting my ability to have meetings worth having.

It integrates with well with operational meetings and external meetings. The ability to add tasks in various apps from within the meeting notes is more than a time saver.

We use Hugo a lot, mainly as a way to keep on track with our meeting time. We all add agenda items ahead of any standing meetings so that the time is used effectively (or we know whether to cancel). We write up meeting notes and integrate with Slack to ensure they're shared among the rest of the team. Recommend.

Quick question: any plans to allow scheduling in the app?
